Russian propaganda is very probably much worse than it used to be, partially because Russians themselves in general do not realize how bad it is. They have a hard time accepting that they would just be lied to. They have the idea that because they have the internet, they would know differently. But of course they don't actually follow alternative sources. Or they just won't believe them when they see them, because the Russian propaganda twists their views so badly.

As for the west, I don't think anti-russian sentiments are even as bad as they were in the 90's. In the west we are used to making a difference between the people and the government.
